Downpours, DIS meets, and the Dining Plan - Our Week at WDW May 16-23 Final Thoughts

Just found this TR thread...thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed reading it. I loved the girls' giraffe print tops. Did you make or buy them? I'd love to find something like them for my granddaughter. You have such a lovely family...again thanks for sharing with us. :)

Thank you so much and thank you for reading. :goodvibes I got the giraffe tops at the Gap Outlet. The gap outlet in Nashville still had them in August so there's a chance you can still find them. Good luck!
 
I can't wait for your PTR...everytime a TR ends, I feel like a friend is moving away and we won't talk for awhile...so glad you're starting one right away.

Great final thoughts....I have to say I totally understand when you say rude people....what happened to people, I kept saying to Jasmine, maybe it's the economy and they really couldn't afford to come but came anyways....I was trying to justify how people could be so rude, obnoxious and downright mean to each other.....
 

Hi Leanne,
Sad your TR is over but hoping you start a PTR soon. Poor Josie that is awful what happened at the Pirate ship. It's so dangerous because of rude people who don't watch their kids. I despise that pirate play ship. Anyway i enjoed your SWW pica and your final thoughts. The good the bad and ugly is a great way to do them :thumbsup2. I agree with so much of what you wrote, I guess since we were all there at the same time during the same rainy weather. So happy you are booked at Poly. It's our families favorite resort!
 
Oh no it's over.....:sad2: Please start the PTR right away! I gotta go and update min TR so I can join you on the PTR board. Loved your report, brought back so many memories. :love::lovestruc:yay::banana::cool1:

You're not going to get rid of me that easy my friend! :rotfl: It's crazy how rude and selfish people can be, especially at a place like Disney. I don't understand their sense of entitlement. I see people like that and really try hard to say "hey note to self, don't do that or you will look like THAT person". I will let you know when the PTR starts! In process of getting caught up on your TR. I will post a hello very soon i promise!

awesome tr!! sorry it's over...but, all good things have to come to an end!!!
Thanks Christie! I'm looking forward to your TR from last week. :goodvibes

I will start a PTR soon. Josie's b-day party is this weekend so I will busy the rest of this week but i will start it sometime next week for sure. The week of Oct. 5 (school fall break) we are heading to Gatlinburg so it will be a slow start and then I will take off. I'm not a big fan of the pirate pool now either. I can't wait to check out the Poly. I'm :cloud9:. I will have to tap your extensive knowlege of the place and find out some tips.

Yep all good things have to come to an end. When things slow down we will have to call more. I can't wait to be at the Poly with ya and vacay again! We have to be sure to hang out on the PTR board. So when are you wrapping up and starting a PTR? I know you are so busy with moving and all. It was great spending time with you at WDW and we're all really looking forward to doing it again! :love:
 
What a bummer about the yucky Chef Mickey's meal - we enjoyed ours, but with a buffet it can really depend on when you get there!

I'm totally with you about flying - I would rather drive (not out of dislike of flying, but to save money) but my hubby hates it. And I share the wheel with him, but he still says its just too far. I'm trying to convince him to drive next year and use the money saved on an upgrade.

Hi there and welcome to my TR! :welcome: The rain was incredible but we had a good time regardless. I felt sorry for folks on their first visit too. We did meet a few families that had never been. I've gone that same week the last couple of years so I kept trying to assure them that the amount of rain was really unusual for this time of year. I hope it didn't completely turn them against WDW. :sad2:

Thanks about the pic of Josie. She does look really sweet in that pic. Are you going to WDW in 2010?

Yes, we are definitely going in 2010. But... not in May this time. Really, it wasn't the rain that scared me off , because I know thats really unusual (in fact I hear that was the wettest week they've EVER had that wasn't caused by a tropical storm). But our usual week to go is in September - this very week in fact!:sad: I am so bummed that we are not in Disney right now - it just doesn't seem right! We are a year-round school district, and we always go the first week of our fall break, which is now. It gives me something to look forward to that whole first quarter of school. So, after changing things up this year and regretting it, we will be going back to our usual September trip. Otherwise, it would have been really fun to get in on your meet!

Looking forward to following your PTR for next year's trip!

My mom's house was supposed to close today-not going to happen. Maybe thurs. Our new house is totally up in the air due to the appraisal.We (Jeff and I) leave for Vegas on fri. Going to see a concert at the Hard Rock Hotel on Sat night with old friends. Since I will have some airport time I will try and give you a call. Give Josie a big birthday hug from us.
I am on thurs of my TR. Hoping to wrap it up soon. My goal is by the end of Sep early Oct.
We should plan a "grand gathering" dinner at O Hana!! My girls talk about going again with you guys all the time.

Glad to see you again. Bummer that you won't be going back in May. It would have been fun to meet up. I would do a fall trip but our fall break is in October (usually blocked out for special offers) and then we don't get another break until Easter. For us it makes more sense to sneak in between end of school and Memorial Day (before the northern schools are out). Hope to see you over on my PTR!! Be sure to post!

Cool! Hope to hear from you at the airport. :goodvibes I will give Josie a big hug. We will definitely have to do Ohana. We loved it and it's unlimited food which makes my hubby happy. I can't wait for Josie to see her birthday surprise. I will post pics on facebook as soon as I get a chance...maybe on my PTR if I get started right away. Have a great weekend and enjoy the concert. Sounds like a lot of fun. :banana:
